3) Be aware of your personal safety when out looking for Pokemon. 

4) Watch where you are walking, be aware of your surroundings and do not walk out into roads without looking.

Personal Safety Tips

The following personal safety tips are designed to help you to be more aware of your surroundings, and to help protect yourself by taking step towards crime prevention.


Surroundings

Be aware of your surroundings. If you feel uncomfortable with a person or situation, or if you see something suspicious, do not hesitate to call the police.

Walk with a friend to campus is better than walking alone. If you walk alone make sure you look at the surroundings and always be on the alert. Do not use shortcuts.


Vehicle Safety

Make sure you have your keys ready when approaching your car. Look under and around as you approach your car. Look inside your car before getting in, carefully checking the back seat area.

Immediately lock your doors once you are inside the vehicle.

Do not place your valuables items on the front passenger seat. Always keep your car locked.

 
Home Safety

Always lock the doors and windows of your house. Close curtains at night.

When someone knocks on your door, check first before opening the door. Open the door only if you know the person. If the person claims to be contractor/utility staff and you were not expecting that person, open the door only after verifying (with your landlord or the company the person works for) the reason for the visit.

If you come home and find a door or window open unexpectedly, you are advised not to enter your house and immediately call the police. If you notice a suspicious person/s near your residence, do not hesitate to call the police.

 
Thank you

NOTICE ON CAR THEFT PREVENTION

The university is concerned of the recent car theft took place at vehicle parking area outside UTAR compound leading to Taman Perdana.  There were 2 incident reported involved student’s car on 3^rd and 9^th March 2015.  The university believes there is a car theft syndicate targeting student’s car parked outside the campus. Police assistance to increase the frequency of police patrol has been requested.

Car theft can be greatly reduced with a few simple precautions:

•  Always Lock your Car!  Ensure roll up the window and keep the car locked at all times, even if it’s parked on your property or inside campus.
•  Don’t Leave Valuables on Display in the Car! Never leave valuables in plain view, even if your car is locked. Put them in the trunk or at least out of sight.
•  Sensible Parking!  Park where passers-by may serve as a deterrent to thieves. If you have a choice, don’t park at an intersection at the end of a line of parked cars. The car is thus vulnerable to towing by thieves. When parked at a curb, turn front wheels sharply toward curb.
•  Install Mechanical Device! Install a mechanical locking device that lock to the steering wheel or brake to prevent the wheel being turned more than a few degrees.
•  Invest in an Alarm System!  Have an alarm system installed in your car, loud alarms will quickly deter car theft.

Following most of above advice will not cost you a penny, take very little time, and could save thousands of money. The MOST important thing YOU can do is CALL THE POLICE OR UNIVERSITY SECURITY to report a CRIME or any SUSPICIOUS activity.

Thank you

Direct Selling or Pyramid Schemes

To all staff and students of UTAR,

It has come to our knowledge that there are recent efforts to recruit members for direct selling or pyramid schemes. People attending the recruitment sessions are asked to deposit money first and then recruit friends to join with promises of good return on investment.

The University strongly advise students and staff to be alert and to take extra care and not to participate in quick money making schemes which maybe illegal and you may lose your savings and investment. We also advises all students to focus on your studies and lead meaningful student lives.
